This is definitely St Johns RC primary school Billingham. I was taught by some of these teachers. I attended this primary school 1949-1954.
Mary Beck, I attended the school from 1946 to 1957, can’t quite remember. I remember
Ann Scott, Michael Murphy, Eddie Rowntree and many more. I was married at St Johns church in 1960 by Father Kerwick. Anyone have any info of this period?
Mary, I remember you very well!, Its many years since we were youngsters at S.Johns but we are still here.
I too was married at St.Johns but in 1964. A lot of life has been lived since schooldays but we still live in the area, Wolviston in fact. It’s lovely to see your message.
Edwin ( Eddie) Rowntree.
This is definitely the staff of St John the Evangelist School, Cowpen Lane, Billingham.
I can confirm all the names of the staff given.
My sister, Mrs Catherine Conlin (nee Curran) is seated at the left end of the front row,
I attended this school from approximately 1943 to 1952.
All my brothers and sisters attended this school.
Greetings all.

(We all lived at 46 York Crescent – at very short distance via Weardale Crescent and Central Avenue to the church and school).
This was most certainly St Johns Billingham, I don’t understand Tim Hardy’s comments. I attended this school from 1955-1962 & knew all the teachers, Clare Doran was my form teacher at the time of this photo , taken by the Billingham Express I believe, Thanks for confirmation Tony & Ann
I was at St John’s Billingham from 1952 and left in 1958 to go to grammar school, I remember Mr Bradley, his parents lived near to my house. During my time at the school, Miss Jennings joined the staff and subsequently became Mrs Bradley. My first teacher was Miss Dent, I also remember Mrs Wildish, Mr Hodgson, Mr O’Connor and the headmaster was Mr Smith.
This is St Johns R C School Billingham. I was at this school from 1960 until 1963, unfortunately I do not remember all the faces but the back row is:- Mr Bradley, Miss Finn,?, Miss Hutchinson,?,?, and Mr Gaffney. The front row is :- ?, ?, Mr O’Connor, Mr Morrisey the Headmaster, Miss Doran,
and ?,. Maybe some-one else can fill in the rest.
Miss Eglington is seated beside Miss Doran.
No this was definitely St Johns School I remember all the teachers and the headmaster.
It’s St John The Evangelist RC School, Cowpen Lane, Billingham
It definitely is not St. Johns. I was a pupil there in 1961 and I don’t know any of the people in this photograph. The buildings would suggest that it is the Ragworth School.
The first pic is St. John’s Billingham. I attended from 1952 to 1962. The last one is St. John’s Ragworth. I recognise all off The staff. We all went there along with our siblings from 5 to 15.
I think at the time this was Ragworth School – not St. John’s.
